May Day Basket Fun

Hi everyone! 

It’s John and I’m here to talk to you about holiday baskets. Holiday baskets are the perfect gift for someone who already has everything or for those holidays that you just don’t know what to get for them. Of course, everyone knows about Easter baskets and I’m sure everyone had plenty of those a couple of weeks ago and you may have gotten a basket or two over the past winter holiday season.

But baskets can be given on any occasion and they will be loved. They make a great container for whatever you want to put into them. You know, stuff like little toys, crayons, and coloring books for children or knick-knacks, crayons, and coloring books for grown-ups. (Coloring is good for all of us 😊) You could also put other various items in those baskets; flowers, fruits, vegetables, treats, or our favorite, sweets!


We have yet to encounter someone who doesn’t like a little sweet treat every now and then. Especially when it’s given as a gift. So, let’s talk about one of the next holidays coming up, May Day.

Wait a minute, you mean you don’t know about May Day? Well, that’s not surprising. Here, take a look at the Wikipedia article about it. I’ll wait.

We enjoy dropping baskets off on door steps of our favorite neighbors and we hope that you might join us in the fun! You’ve still got a couple of days to put together some baskets and we have plenty of sweet confections to help fill those baskets.



See you soon!

Our Easter Basket Winner!


We have our Winner!

Congratulations to Jane Doe! Katrina and I both agree that although we got so many fantastic pictures, this was the best photo of all of them. We both thought that this photo showed how much they were enjoying a piece of our delicious toffee and we loved it!


When Jane sent in this photo she included a short description of her and her friend Mary in the shot:

We both love your toffees! We try to stop in at least once a week and pick a couple of pieces of toffee to enjoy after our walk. We walk twice a week around one of the parks in town and always end our walk by taking a moment to enjoy our toffee together. This is how we always look as we enjoy them, eyes closed and savoring your exquisite toffees! Thank you!

Well, we couldn’t ignore that so Jane is our winner of an Easter basket and she can stop in any time this week to pick it up. Don’t worry Jane, we’ve packed it full of our exquisite toffees!

And you can also enjoy our toffees and other scrumptious confections at our shop any time so stop over this week to put together your own Easter basket!
